I received this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
So this is definitely a page-turner. It's filled with action and I was definitely interested in finding out what happened. If you're a fan of Michael Crichton or James Rollins, you will definitely enjoy this. You can definitely see this being made into a movie. There are some annoying characters and some questionable plot devices, but overall, if you like action-packed thrillers, you will probably enjoy this. I will warn you, this ends pretty abruptly. As I read it on my phone and saw myself getting closer and closer to the end, I was wondering how it was going to be resolved... it was just like when I was watching the finale of Twin Peaks and it was the scene where Dale Cooper is in the bathroom (you know the scene I mean) and I hit the pause button to see how much time was left that it could be resolved, only to see :25 left... that feeling when you know that it's not going to be neatly resolved. However, I assume that a sequel to Project Apex will be coming (hopefully sooner than the length of time it took to get the sequel to Twin Peaks), and I will definitely be reading.

Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Project Apex begins as a research to alter the genetics of people, to be used as enhanced soldiers, a war tool. A project the authorities thought they had in check, until they find out they don't. Rogue enchanted soldiers create chaos all across the globe, led by a man set on purifying the earth to begin anew.
The book start out kinda boring and slow, showing how the DNA used to create superior humans were found. It then leads on to the plot of the book, starting with the build-up and then progresses further and further into the chaos, as leaders struggle to control the panic and havoc all over the world.
The book is okay. It has adventure and is faced space, moving the story along as it need be without any stalling or unnecessary stops. It gives some food for thoughts, as characters discusses view points regarding who are the terrorists, who are they good guys and it all depends on your viewpoint and where you come from, to conspirational thoughts about the governments and what they let or do not let the common people know.
I might pick up the next book in the series if I fall over it, but I won't hunt for it. But the book wasn't a waste of time, but entertaining in its way.
